This is huge news… 🚀 Microsoft’s commitment & investment will play a huge part in building an AI powered economy here in the UK. All built on trust, security and responsibility…

Great news for the UK economy but also a subtle but hugely important message about AI Governance The UK sits between the 'hardline' EU AI Act and the wild west US drive to get there first. The UK's lead regulator is the ICO with personal data protection paramount for AI development. Trust in AI will determine commercial success or failure. Something that clearly Darren Hardman and Microsoft recognise (even if they are not saying it).

Microsoft’s £22bn investment in the UK is more than a technology milestone it’s a catalyst for social and economic transformation. What excites me most is the potential of AI to enhance public services, drive inclusion, and strengthen systems that touch people’s daily lives. In health and population focused work, innovation is not just about efficiency it’s about building resilience, expanding access, and enabling communities to live healthier, more productive lives. This kind of purposeful investment shows how technology can create progress that is measured not only in economic growth but also in human wellbeing. A significant moment for the UK, and an encouraging signal for global innovation. #Innovation #AIForGood #HealthEquity #SocialImpact #GlobalDevelopment

MICROSOFT: The technology giant has made its biggest ever investment in the UK, pledging £22 billion over four years to help build Britain’s largest AI supercomputer and grow its data-centre network, about half of the money will be spent on capital expansion, and half on the company’s existing UK operations, where it employs 6,000 people. The Microsoft investment is one of a list of eye-watering funding announcements in the UK made by Big Tech overnight to coincide with President Trump’s state visit.

Microsoft says its new $30bn (£22bn) investment in the UK's AI sector - its largest outside the US - should significantly boost Britain's economy in the next few years. The package forms a major part of a £31bn agreement, dubbed the "Tech Prosperity Deal", between the UK government and several US tech giants as part of President Donald Trump's second state visit to the UK https://lnkd.in/d6F8DMDd Ok... but what is the trade off? #AI

Microsoft announces a massive $30 billion investment in UK AI infrastructure, positioning itself strategically ahead of Google's competing £5 billion commitment. This unprecedented capital deployment includes supercomputer development and represents the largest single AI infrastructure investment by a US tech giant in Europe. The timing coincides with Trump's UK visit and signals Microsoft's aggressive push to secure competitive advantages in global AI compute capacity, potentially reshaping the geopolitical landscape of AI development and European tech partnerships. #LowerAlabamaAI #AIInfrastructure #AICompetition Read More 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gXECy_pF
